NO ONE IS STEPPING FORWARD IN WILSON

I don't know how the rest of you feel about this, but I don't look kindly on people who disseminate inflammatory, unsubstantiated material and misinformation about which they are unwilling to take credit. They did it anonymously which makes the information lack credibility. It appears they didn’t gather their information from the individual who intends to open the Adult Shop and could have answered questions, but instead comprised the material to lead one to believe it was apodictic information.

Their idea was to inflame the residents of Wilson and get everyone as upset as they could about the new prospective business in Wilson, no matter the cost. That is what they did earlier this week when they sneaked around town distributing fliers at a time when no one could see who was doing it. Shame on them!

The fliers weren’t signed and no one has stepped forward to lay claim to writing and printing the material. That seems a very cowardly act by people who aren’t willing to verify their claims, but instead, would rather agitate others into action.

Like someone said, it’s very similar to yelling “FIRE” in a crowded theater.

Level heads should prevail and people should recognize that everyone has rights protected under our constitution that extend beyond the beliefs of a few individuals. Trouble-maker tactics have no social value whatsoever .

It seems it would be better to talk to the new owner, find out exactly what he intends to have in his business and go from there. No one is forcing anyone to enter the store. There is probably very little anyone can do to divert the owner from his chosen course as it is his right to do whatever he choses within the limits of the law. I’m surprised there are people who are so judgmental as to believe they have the right to tell him otherwise.

This is the bouillabaisse that is America.
